Firms that reached a lead inside the first hour were nearly seven times as likely to have a real conversation with a decision maker as firms that waited an hour longer, and more than sixty times as likely as the ones that waited a day. Harvard Business Review, 2011, an audit of 2,241 companies.
What actually happens, and when.
Someone answers your ad
We run the advertising on Facebook and Instagram, write the creative, and manage the budget against what actually books rather than what gets clicks.
They get a text back
Not an auto-reply promising someone will be in touch. A real message that answers what they asked and asks the next thing. It goes out at two in the morning the same as at two in the afternoon.
We find out if they're serious
What the job is, where it is, and when they want it done. The people who were only curious sort themselves out here, before they reach you.
It lands on your calendar
You get the appointment and the whole conversation that led to it. Every lead stays visible to you, including the ones that went nowhere.
What it costs.
$1,500a month to run it, plus $500 once to build it. Month to month, cancel with 14 days notice.
Plus your ad budget, paid straight to Meta. The ad account is yours and your card is on it. We never touch that money and never mark it up. Plan on about $1,000 a month for it to work — so roughly $2,500 all in.
- Facebook and Instagram advertising, managed
- All creative, written and designed
- Every enquiry texted back within a minute
- Qualifying, then appointments booked to your calendar
- Monthly reporting on leads, replies, and bookings
Why your card, not ours
Because it is your account and your data. You see every dollar the day it is spent instead of taking our word for it, the audience and history stay yours, and if you ever leave you keep all of it. Agencies that bury the spend inside one number are the ones you cannot audit.
What we do not promise
A specific number of customers. Advertising does not work that way and anyone guaranteeing it is telling you what you want to hear. What we do guarantee is that every lead is contacted within minutes and that you see all of them.
If you outgrow it
$2,500 a month in management adds more audiences and heavier creative testing. $4,000 adds Google Search alongside Meta. Almost everyone should start at $1,500 and move up only once the first campaign has proved itself.
This does not suit everybody.
Worth a conversation
- Local service business around Akron or Northeast Ohio
- A new customer is worth $800 or more to you
- You have room on the calendar for more work
- You can put roughly $1,000 a month behind the ads
Probably not
- You want a guaranteed number of customers
- You are already booked out for months
- A typical job is worth under a few hundred dollars
- Nobody at the business answers the phone at all
If it is not a fit we will say so on the first call. A client who cancels in month three costs us more than the month we would have billed.
Questions people ask before the call.
Do I pay Facebook separately?
Yes, and you want it that way. The ad account is yours, your card is on it, and you see exactly what was spent every day. We never touch your ad money and never mark it up. Budget around $1,000 a month for it to work properly. The $1,500 is what you pay us to run it.
So what does this cost me all in?
About $2,500 a month to start — $1,500 to us and roughly $1,000 to Meta on your own card. If one new customer is worth $800 or more to you, that is three jobs to break even.
Is this an answering service?
No. An answering service picks up calls you already get. We generate the enquiries in the first place and then answer them — the advertising and the follow-up are the same job, which is why splitting them across two vendors usually leaks.
What if I already run ads?
We look at what is running before changing anything. Fairly often the ads are fine and the leak is the four hours between an enquiry arriving and someone replying to it.
How long am I tied in for?
Month to month. Cancel with 14 days notice. There is no contract, and the ad account stays yours if you leave.
Can you guarantee me a number of customers?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. What is guaranteed is that every lead gets contacted within minutes and that you see all of them, including the bad ones.
What does the text actually say?
Put your number in the box at the top of this page and read it yourself. That is the fastest answer to this question and it is why the box is there.
Who is behind this?
Annuvo is based in Akron, Ohio, working with businesses across Summit, Stark, and Portage counties.
